Designer Crush: The Elegant Abode

Happy Thursday! This week has flown by for me as work has been crazy, and I can't believe it's almost the weekend again. Today I wanted to share a design firm I just discovered and am swooning over ~ The Elegant Abode. Run by New York-trained design duo Villalta and Ali Vanderpool, The Elegant Abode creates timeless, neutral-rich spaces that exude a sense of calm. Based in New York, the girls definitely have a penchant for classic, Northeastern design. Isn't the exterior of this house so very northeastern?

What a beautiful exterior.

I delved further in to their portfolio and had to share with you my favorite rooms:

Any room that uses the classic Hicks pendant is a room done right to me. I know a lot of people are "over" them, but I still love the unique look!

The Elegant Abode was recognized as one of the 25 Next Wave Designers by House Beautiful in their July 2012 issue. I can't wait to see more from the duo in the coming years!
